PrinceWatercress plays Scrapyard Dog (Lynx) - Part 2 of 7


The second world of the game takes us to the big city.


City 1

The cats are now black instead of white.

If you jump up to the door near the mailbox at the start and knock, a tiny door appears. If you still have the mini power-up for the junkyard, you can open the door; otherwise, don't even bother.

Much like in the windows mini-game, windows that open and close will knock you downwards.

Watch out for falling jars. White ones will fall when you're to the left of them; green ones that show up later will fall if you're to the right of them. Approach slowly and carefully!

Pressing Up at the payphone near Pat's Pets will net you temporary invincibility.

Jumping straight up at the awning that says "Place" nets you a clock worth 30 seconds.

If you knock on the door at the Fruit Packin Co. and enter it, you'll enter a store that sells shields for $10 each. It's definitely worth taking a few.

The door to the inn takes you to the door store and doesn't take you far at all.

Press Up at the payphone at the end of bonus points.

City 2

There are multiple paths through this city, and if you know where to look, you can get plenty of money in this stage.

The bank doors take you to a piano mini-game (which I accidentally skip despite knowing about). Jumping straight up at the nearby booth nets you $5.

You can buy time in a pipe that leads to a store if you crouch on top of it; I don't go to that store.

You can take a shortcut to the end with the windowsills above Ursula's. If you press Down at the envelope at the end, you can get 2500 bonus points.

City 3

Watch out for snakes. They will crawl towards you unless you can defeat or avoid them.

The opening in the wall contains $5 if you hold Up at it.

Some of the holes in the wall will lead further into the stage if you press Up at them. There's a shortcut from 10th Street to 20th Street at the start, and there's one soon after that which takes you to 30th Street.

For the can mini-game, pay attention to the can with the arrow above it and watch where it goes when you press A. If you can select the right can, you'll get a power-up. You only get one shot at this mini-game, so make it count!

Don't let the water droplets hit you.

Pressing Up at the phone box near the exit nets you 2500 bonus points.

City 4

You'll be flying around on a sphere. It takes a second to get going when you hold a direction, so you'd better be fast when moving around. At least you have infinite ammo with the weapon this things gives you.

Make sure to avoid the pipes as well as the jets of water that come out of some of the pipes. 

City 5

Keep firing shots at the boss and make sure you are never lined up with the cannon in the center. Make sure the middle of your flying machine is lined up with the visor so you can avoid the boss' shots while pulverizing it with your own.

You'll get an extra life and you'll soon head to the forest for the next world.
